An individual visited the police station during the July 31 night shift, and advised a truck at the end of the block appeared to be leaking fluid. Members attended and checked it out. The leak was not hazardous material, rather, it was water leaking out of a container in the box.

A man later advised police a neighbour was having a fire and the smoke was entering his house. Members attended and found the person did not have a permit to have an open fire. The fire was extinguished. No further action was required.

Police were then called to a loud party in south central Estevan. The homeowner was warned of the noise bylaw. While police were on the scene, the party host was asked to locate the owner of a vehicle that was partially blocking a driveway.

A traffic stop during the July 31 night shift led to several charges. A 39-year-old man was arrested and charged for breaching his conditions by being with the female passenger. He was on conditions of not having contact with her. He was also charged with possession of cocaine. The 38-year-old woman was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, stemming from an earlier investigation.
